Excerpt from The Confessions of Jacob Boehme NE day last winter, in a moment which I must confess to have been idle, I took up Dr. Alexander Whyte's Appreciation of Behmen as, following William Law, he calls him. There I found the following passage While we have nothing that can properly be called a biography of Jacob Behmen, we have ample amends made to us in those priceless morsels of auto biography that lie scattered so plentifully up and down all his books. And nothing could be more charming than just those incidental and unstudied utterances of Behmen about himself. Into the very depths of a passage of the profoundest speculation Behmen will all of a suddenvi confessions OF jacob boehme.

Mystical experience is not really understood in our modern Western culture, but we have a rich history and traadition that can be traced from remote ages to the present day. It is a phenomenon common to all religions and races, differing in manifestation, but sharing a similar foundation#8212the realization from personal experience that all things are interdependent, that the source is One. The mystical experience is often brief, immediate, maybe mysterious#8212a last experience that rbings all-embracing emotion (love) into the bounds of concrete reality. Bruno Borchert brings mysticism into sharp focus by exploring ideas and concecpts from world religions and explaining Christian mystics in history, in perspective, and through art. He takes us from Zoroaster to European alchemists, explores the Hellenistic world, the feminine world-view, and the experience of God shard by saints and well-known mystics such as St. Theresa and St. Francis. Modern approaches explored by psychologists like Jung and Maslow, and the contemporary search for mystical love make this a necessary book for people who want to understand the spiritual path.

The Threefold Life is Jacob Boehme's third book. "It is a key for above and below to all mysteries, to whatever the mind is able to think upon, or wherever the heart is able to turn and move itself. It shows the whole ground of the Three Principles. It serves every one according to his present condition. He may therein sound the depth and the resolution of any question that reason is able to devise and propound."
